The Vampire Strikes Back
Kicking off from where them first season left off
, we find out that the annointed one is trying to ressurect the Master. Buffy ends upby completly smashing his bones completely and the annointed one escapes. Meanwhile two new vamps come in , Spike and Drusilla..
Spikehas already killed two slayers, thats one of the reasons he has come, to kill buffy. The other is to restore Drusilla's power.
AfterSpikefails, he kills the annointed one and takes over. Spike and Drusillaare the main enemies and another one comes in which I won't say cause it will ruin the surprise.
A tremendously emotional season
, it opens the gates to a whole new season of twists & turns, especially forBuffy and the anguish she feels. Sarah Michelle Gellarshows her stellar acting ability throughout and her emotional control is magnificent. The special features include audio commentary, interviews, featurettes, TV spots, video trailers, still galleries, and cast biographies...
This season also introduces evil couple Spike and Dru.
We learn about their history and how Angel is connected with their histroy. We also meet " Angelus
," Angel's evil side. David Boreanazreally shines as a crazy, evil person. The extras on the DVD are good.!! The viewers can see the sets and make-up appications of monsters. Pretty decent
, but still want a little more cast interviews.
【Sarah Michelle Gellar】Buffy the Vampire Slayer Angelus Is Let Loose
Buffy is rock solid entertainment with heart and a mind
The acting and writing on Buffyis a head above mostprogramming. Nearly all the stories are allegories for some big moment of our teenage existence, and series creatorJoss Whedonmanages to inject a lot of humor in with the angst. Nobody has all the answers, even though Giles comes pretty close, and Whedon remembers what that was like.
The key to this series is the storylines and dialogue. The writingteam managesto give us engrossing stories, that serve to both make us laugh and feel pain
, but they dont take themselvestoo seriously... I mean, this is a story about demons and a 16-year-old who slays them. As a viewer, you get the inside joke through ironic wit and sly humor.
Its amazing that something that can make you laugh can also make you cry. The main story is the arc of Buffy's romance: you'll watchBuffy and Angel's relationshipdevelop from a tepid encounter, to a warm, loving romantic courtship that eventually gets ripped apart, forcing Buffy to make a final
, terrible decision that no one should ever have to make.!!!!
In the end, though, it all comes back to the Slayer.
Buffyrises to the occasion in the brilliant season-ending battlewith Angelus in "Becoming." Like Luke with his traumatic duel with Vader
,Buffyis perched on an emotional precipice between choosing the easy path or the harder path.
She choosesthe harder oneand it costs her more than she could have ever considered. She gains victory only to lose everything. Empire ends with ando & Chewbacca
L abandoning the Rebel fleet to recover the frozen Han Solo. Season two endswhere it begins only this time withBuffy, frozen and emotionally dead
, abandoning the friends and family whoher. Now she must thaw and reintegrate herself
back into the world. But for all intents and purposes, the final connecting link between the heartbroken Slayer and the disillusioned Jedi is simply this: A final brutal end to innocence.
For the purposes of the expanded cast, I've split the lists into Good Guys & Bad Guys...
